i would disagree with all that

Our 2004 CTT had all 8 replaced twice in 4 years and 70K miles.
Our new 08 CTT has its first one replaced this week at 1.2K, but it seems to have a problem with the direct injection (shudder at pickup from low revs in high gears). Anybody else has this problem?
On the other hand, the Sport Button is fantastic.

Just a heads up... When you have them replaced VERIFY you are getting a P/N that ends in 03. The warehouse was still shipping 00 P/N's as of 2 months ago. Tech's should be double checking and refusing 00's and 01's but who knows.

Sorry for the late join,
i too have a 2006-S but no coil problem yet, but then again my cayenne is barely driven its only got 9,500K on it. is this something that i should be considering getting looked at? or have the dealer check on anytime soon. when have the rest of you started to see this problem?

Of course I no longer have the Cayenne - but only becuase it won't fit in the garage out in my San Diego house...

my past experience (with a great dealer/svc. dept) still led to no codes comments from the techs like:
1. did driver put regular unleaded? - car needs premium
2. possible water in system from fueling during heavy rains of late - run several tanks of gas then come back
3. owner states stuttering/low power? what stuttering/low power?
keep complaining.

My saga has been the same
Nice dealer, service dept - but since nothing showed on the computer, "nothing to fix"
Got responses like " Are you driving with 2 feet" and "You need to try a different brand of gas"
Decided to go to another dealer, and they agreed the problem existed, and as of yesterday, plan was to replace the coils.
MadFox- what was your symptoms ? Did it occur on the 04 or 06?
